Synopsis: Have you ever wondered where light actually comes from apart from the sun and moon? Many students are curious to know how light evolved and what changes have occurred over decades for us to be where we are today with light. This unit will focus on integrating Language Arts, Mathematics, Art and Research with the Science Curriculum to bring this topic to life. Through experiments, research, discussion, videos, and reading materials, students will garner valuable information on the evolution, and the history of light. The use of comprehension skills, the inquiry method, research method, and critical thinking skills, will be used to assist students in better understanding all concepts taught in this unit. The main focus of this unit is to allow students to work cooperatively through research, experiments, and group work while using their critical thinking skills to answer questions and solve problems. Students will be assisted and monitored by a Science teacher. The lessons will allow students to explore on their own and with other peers.
